Great to hear that Sunny. Another thing I keep hearing about is people complaining about the design/user friendliness of the official PPCoin site. Any word on that?
Lets stop playing it
nicely (
from min 4:20):
First, I think the (POS/POW-)concept of ppcoin ist great, innovative, the next step in crypto currency evolution. Honest and sincere respect to you, Sunny, for that.
But (IMO)...
- ... the name is somehow shitty, difficult and obscure.
- ... the icon is crap: an irrecognizable, blurry, fuzzy, greygreen somewhat.
- ... the website is ridiculous: Nice for an amateur, hobby thing - but not for a multi-billion-dollar project. Is this really a GTA-mapin the background?
- ... the main client is insufficient: First of all, there is written "bitcoin" everywhere - and, second and more important, you cannot do minting (a key feature of ppcoin) with an encrypted wallet, while it is possible with the command line daemon.
- ... an understandable documentation regarding the key feature minting is not there, in a usable form. This is somehow very unpolite to the users.
Someone has to improve this things (Before someone say it: I won't do it. I am not a designer, I do not have access to ppcoin.org and I don't know the deeper mechanics of ppcoin). Sunny, you have to organize this somehow - because you are the obviously the boss.
If this is not done, someone (like MC2) will take and copy the concept and improve it. PPCoin will be weed out of the evolution of crypto currencies.
Look, criticizing anything is easy. Everyone likes complaining on the internet, it probably relieves your stress from not getting laid for so long. But since all you do is talk shit, the net result of your contribution is 0.
You come off as very self-entitled, "give it to me now / I wanna have it my way or else you suck" type. You're posting off-topic, and your points are either obvious (website design can be improved? no shit), or downright dumb (shitty name? lol).
Someone who actually cares will offer up some real help to project owners rather than spreading FUD around here. So, go play with your toys and let the adults have a constructive conversation.
FreeBit is actually correct about this. These are key issues that needs to be addressed and since we don't really have enough knowledge over the mechanics, it's hard to offer real constructive conversation.
In order to get more people to buy into PPCoins, we need to lower the general entry to use for the masses.
This would require more documentation, more communication. I'm not sure about the self minting issue, but I hope Sunny can address this. Look, I really love the idea of PPCoins, but I hope that the issues that FreeBit have addressed are resolved and fixed. Every successful coin out there right now has these crucial elements that have been identified. The new and upcoming FeatherCoin has nailed this down pretty well too. Given the brilliance of the PPCoin idea, I would expect more widespread adoption, but there isn't right now. Now we have to look at why. If there are actually instances of the word Bitcoin in the client, then that speaks lack of professionalism in our coin itself.
We're not spreading FUD, we are just concerned with these issues and want every bit of PPCoin to succeed.
